Many Years Ago Lyrics by René Marie

Sound of Red

2016

[Intro]
We loved with this
Skinned our knees
Picking sour apples from an old apple tree
We waved away bees
And did as we plead
Many years ago
[Verse 1]
Few cars were to [?]
In a small town like us
You could walk anywhere
No burdens to pay
We have to care
[Chorus]
Many years ago
Many years ago
Do you remember the glass candy is
At Miss Cayce's store?
And do you remember the loud hard bind
Of that old screen door?
Do you remember the cool,dark [?]
Of the old oak floor?
A playground in [?]
The railroad track?
And the family that lived next door?
[Verse 2]
On [?] street live[?]
We run run down side
And a little brown feet
Playing hide and go to seek
And the day of the weak
[Chorus]
Many years ago
Ahh the berries were good
Deep in the word
We tried not to [?] as hard as we could
With mama’s same hands to [?]
She knew me many years ago
Many years ago
[Verse 3]
Do you remember catching lightning birds
In the front yard? And do you remember
the grown ups in the the living room
Just drinking and playing cards?
I know you remember trying to be good
'Coz that was hard. That pastry outside
And those summer hay rise and being afraid
Of the dark
And then one day we moved away
The sadness I felt is hard to convey
But something inside me died that day
Many many many years ago
